How to Use This Summit Hill, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Summit Hill, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Summit Hill.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Summit Hill occupies a high, singular elevation where the horizon is defined by the rugged, weathered spine of the distant Pocono Mountains. It lies 10.7 miles south-southeast of Hazleton, PA (from Hazleton, PA: bearing 150°T), and is situated 5.5 miles east-northeast of Tamaqua. The terrain here is defined by the sharp, abrupt relief of the Allegheny Plateau, where the earth feels compressed and heavy with the weight of its geology. Nearby, the waters of White Bear Creek carve a narrow passage through the stony landscape, while the quiet, reflective surface of Mauch Chunk Lake sits only a short distance away, mirroring the shifting clouds of the Pennsylvania sky. Residents often gather in the open spaces of Bill Black Park, where the air carries a crisp, thinning quality that speaks to the altitude, and the light at dusk flattens the surroundings into long, charcoal-colored shadows.

Anthracite memory remains the pulse of Summit Hill, a legacy forged in the deep, dark veins of earth that once fueled the industrial ambition of an entire nation. The economy has transitioned from the intensity of the mines to a quiet, measured pace, yet the grid of the streets still reflects the rigid, purposeful planning of an era when coal dictated the rhythm of daily life. The architecture of the older houses, built with a sturdy, utilitarian grace, stands as a reminder of the generations who moved between the Strauss Valley and the higher ridges to earn their living. Even as the modern world softens the edges of this place, the profound influence of its subterranean history persists in the solid, unyielding character of the neighborhood, where time seems to hold its breath against the backdrop of the quiet, expansive plateau.
